Choosing the Right Doghouse for your Faithful Companion

Did you just find a forever friend or are you looking for a new house for Fido? Finding the right dog house can be a little tricky, especially if you’re a new pet owner. Follow these tips to find the perfect house for your pet.

Pick a home that is perfect for your pet’s size. A small dog will need a warm house that is not too big in order to feel safe, while large dogs need a home that is easy to get into and sturdy enough for their body weight. If your dog can stand up and turn around in the house easily and comfortably, it has enough room.

The best material to use is wood. Metal and plastic absorb both heat and cold, so it will not keep your dog safe in extreme temperatures.

According to Dog.com, a good rule of thumb is “If it is safe for kids, it is safe for your dog.”

Details that seem like a luxury might need to be a necessity depending on where you live. An elevated floor will reduce the risk of flooding in flood-prone areas, while a weather flap will prevent wind and rain from reaching your pup.

Try to select a house that has some form of vent to help circulate air within the house.

Finally, decorate your dog’s house by throwing a comfy mat or pad on the floor of the doghouse to protect your pet’s paws. Just make sure it can be washed to avoid fleas and other pests.

Our HOA community has been using Mr. Mister for over a year now, and we couldn't be more pleased. The customer service and product are wonderful. Before Mr. Mister we couldn't enjoy sitting or playing outside due to the number of mosquito due to the wet ground in the community. I've not seen a single mosquito since we started using Mr. Mister. You won't regret it; call today!

Just had our first treatment for 2017, and Mr. Mister continues to provide excellent service. The tech, Keon Newsom arrived on time, discussed the windy weather conditions and whether it would affect the application, surveyed the yard for standing water, and got to work. He did the spraying efficiently and thoroughly, and made sure the yard gates were closed and latched to prevent dogs from exploring. I look forward to another Summer free from mosquitoes!

have been wonderfully surprised how well the service works. rarely, if ever, see mosquitoes in a privacy-fenced yard. Tech Travon Banks was very thorough and made sure he knew history of acct before starting (we have a couple of garden areas). our second year with the service and continue to be very happy with results!
